The inaugural World Wide Digi DX Contest[1] is set for August 31 - September 2, sponsored by the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation (WWROF[2]), in collaboration with the Slovenia Contest Club (SCC[3]). Sponsors hope the WW Digi will become an annual event. The new contest will embrace the use of both FT4 and FT8 protocols of the WSTJ-X[4] version 2.1.0 software suite on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters.
Participants earn points based on the distance between grid square centers of the two stations in a given contact. Each new two-character grid field contacted on each band will be a multiplier. The final score will the product of total contact points and gridÿfieldÿcontacts. Single-operator and multioperator entries are welcome. Plaques will be awarded to top scorers.
